“Capitalism destroys the Earth and people living in it. Masses die without food and medicines in hospitals. The world before us is a place where a child dies every four seconds. As such, we have a responsibility of changing this world.
Enemies should be driven away from this land where Comrade Che Guevara has trodden and the red flag of Socialism should be raised high to build a land where all people could be happy,” said the General Secretary of the JVP Tilvin Silva addressing the ceremony held to commemorate the 47th anniversary of sacrifice by Ernesto Che Guevara.
The plaque to commemorate Che Guevara built by the Socialist Youth Union (SYU) at Yahalakele, Moragahena in Horana was declared open by the Ambassadress of Cuba Her Excellency Indira Lopez while Mr. Tilvin Silva and the participants paid floral tributes.
The area where the mahogany tree planted by Che Guevara is when he visited Sri Lanka was named ‘Che Garden’. At the ceremony Cuban Ambassadress Ms. Indira Lopex, who returns to her country after completing her term in Sri Lanka, was presented a momento to appreciate her services to Socialism.
